Okay, perhaps a clearer outcome would be in order here.
Firstly, let us, for now, forget about collecting songs for the
purpose of publishing.....Maybe later we can do that...maybe not.
How about simply having a KSP which collects songs?!!!!
A small and simple step, is it not?
Is this step sanctionable by the KLI?
How is collecting original Klingon songs any different than the Klingon
Writing Project?
